Libpq does all of the work. PHP has no notion of an encrypted session, it just tells libpq to connect. If you create a certificate for postgresql (see docs) libpq will normally use an encrypted session by default. By setting hostssl in pg_hba.conf it will enforce that all connections must be encrypted to connect -- kinda a guarentee. Anyway, it is that simple. -- Rod Taylor This message represents the official view of the voices in my head ----- Original Message ----- From: "mark boylan" <markboylan@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pgsql-php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 9:33 PM Subject: [PHP] SLL with PHP? > > Hi. > > Can anyone tell me if PHP is capable of connecting to pg using ssl?
